<p>Just for fun, here's sort of a flashback for us 90s kids (probably not applicable outside the US—or maybe?)</p>

<p>I figure since so many of us grew up Christians, these might be amusing to remember. To be honest, I didn't get in quite this deep myself, with all the Christian-alternative fads…</p>

<p>I figure since so many of us grew up Christians, these might be amusing to remember. To be honest, I didn't get in quite this deep myself, with all the Christian-alternative fads and the terrible music, but I do seem to recall having the #3 Teen Study Bible with that wacky Saved-By-The-Bell color scheme. And #14 kills me. You'll know it when you read it. I can hear it in my head right now, a bible study teacher praying just like that.</p>
<p>This all boils down to a way of insulating kids from the broader culture. Isn't it nice to have grown out of all this crap and have real, genuine relationships and enjoy real, genuine music and books without the guilt?</p>
